The Edge Singapore: Round A INvestor (RAIN) programme

19 Feb 2018

The RAIN programme provides hands-on training for investors to learn the art of doing Pre-Series A to Series A Round funding of early-stage ventures.

This is a life-long programme, as alumni become part of the RAIN Club and will be able to share deal sources, collaborate in due diligence and co-invest together. They will be invited to attend future training and programmes as observers or instructors. PAVD is a self-funded platform for venture investing; entrepreneurship training and education; and fundraising for innovative ventures.

The first three days of the course — which starts on March 17 — will be held in Hong Kong, followed by two days in Taiwan and three in Singapore. The course will be led by luminaries in the academic and investment world.

One of the keynote instructors is Professor Albert Chan, an adjunct professor at Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School. Chan is vice-chairman of Ping An Insurance Group’s Investment Management Committee. His committee manages more than RMB1 trillion ($213.4 billion) worth of assets under management including private equity.
